Brianna is 19 weeks and 1 day pregnant with Sextuplets…SIX BABIES! She “survived” her first of two very long ultrasounds today and I have some fun stats to report on! At first glance the ultrasound technician thinks they are having 4 Boys and 2 Girls. We’ll know more tomorrow when they scan the other 3 babies. It’s all very exciting!!!! 

Here’s the results:

Baby A - Girl, measuring 19 wks and 1 day, around 9 ounces (weight) and 8-9 inches (length).

Baby B - Boy, measuring 19 wks and 3 days, around 9 ounces and 8-9 inches.

Baby C - Boy, measuring 19 wks and 3 days, around 10 ounces and 8-9 inches.

AND I’m happy to add that all 3 have healthy, thriving hearts, brains and bones!

FunFact: If all the rest of the kids measure the same range, Brianna will have 4-4.5 feet of baby in her belly right now! CRAZY!

As far as names go, they aren’t telling until the babies are born! They had 3 girl names that they were pretty set on but, they’ll need to adjust them now that they may be having more boys.

Brianna, Ryan and the babies are doing very well! Keep praying for their growing family. To find out how you can get more involved: www.morrison6.com

I was at a friend’s house today talking about motherhood and was inspired to write. I don’t know a lot of things but I know the joy of carrying a sleepy baby to bed when her arms are squeezed around my neck is worth more then anything…it’s wonderful. Being a mom makes me laugh at myself; at my need for ridiculous perfection and control, and at “my plan”! My daughter is her own person and she brings out the best in me. My prayer is to raise her in love.

I love my mom. We don’t always see eye to eye but I know when I’m in her arms…she loves me. She would hold me until I pull away and even then give me one last squeeze. That’s the kind of mom I want to be.

I don’t have any pictures to relay my feelings. I hope the words speak for themselves.

Thanks for listening.

We took Brianna out for a little spin during our visit this week. It felt like we were in the movies and planning our escape, but walked right out the front doors wheeling Brianna and the six babies! Adriah loved having someone to push around.

We went into the center courtyard at Abbott to get some sun and fresh air! Brianna stood (she doesn’t do a lot of that anymore) and did a little posing. Her belly is a perfect basketball! Even though she’s eating all the time, she’s still losing weight…and that’s frustrating! So, she needs to eat more! 

Here’s how you can tell we’re good friends…I asked her to show her belly in the middle of a very public area and she did! I think it’s worth it.

It’s weird to think that at this stage in my pregnancy you could barely tell…i was still in the “I feel fat” stage.

Brianna will have 2 ultrasounds this week to measure the babies growth. One to measure babies A, B, and C and the other to measure D, E, and F. For a pregnant woman with one baby it’s a long time to be on your back, so measuring 6 in one sitting is out of the question. 

Ryan and Brianna were interview by WCCO and the interview should come out next week! for more updates and pictures of the city-wide shower go to www.morrison6.com.

This evening a news crew from WCCO are doing an indepth interview with Ryan and Brianna! I don’t know exactly when it will be aired, but I’m sure it will be soon. I’ll keep you posted.

Brianna and Ryan are getting into a comfortable routine at Abbott Northwestern Hospital! ( I found a little history on the hospital I thought was cool!) I’ve heard that their nurses and doctors are absolutely wonderful.  The other day Brianna’s doctor asked her if she wanted anything from Starbucks for their meeting the following day…it made Brianna’s day! When you’re lieing in a bed 24-7 it’s the little things that make you smile!

Brianna has recovered very well from her surgery last week and I’m happy to report all 6 babies are growing at an incredible rate…but, so is her pour little stomach! She eats all the time and even then, she’s always hungry! I’ll be visiting tomorrow and will be bringing my camera to capture the sextuplets at 18 weeks! Look for updates on: www.morrison6.com

Adriah just turned two in April and everyday I see her changing before my eyes; new words, lots of emotions, longer hair and lots of saying goodbye to clothes she outgrown!  Here’s Adriah all grown up with chef’s hat and apron…she’s cooking for mom!

Here she’s just dump out every cooking toy she owns…

And yelling into the lid!

And tasting out the fries…

There is nothing like playing with my little girl!
